 116. TO HIS WIFE ON HIS DEPARTURE— III

��S'\

��Gold are the staircases, and like a kingfisher's wings Sparkle the towers of the house where I shall be. t*}\

But the thought of you, my dear, who will stand alone - By the ancient gate and weep, !?NL

Will make me sit awake at night by the lonely lamp, ^^ And watch the dying moon of dawn; Jt^Sf*

And all my tears shall flow as I journey on to the west. i^*^
